DESCRIPTION:
I highly recommend this book Steven Thomas It seems like just yesterday (although it's been over 20 years) when I was verbally battling with my liberal college professors. By the end of my first semester of college, I realized that many of my profs had political agendas that influenced what they were teaching the students. The economics professors were, by and large, teaching Keynesian economics. As someone who had started his own business at the age of eleven, I knew that much of what they were preaching as gospel didn't really correspond to reality.By my senior year, I had had enough. On my own, I had discovered the writing. "A great way to rerun old articles, but just the same a good read." according to Michael Mechsner. Only gave it three stars because it is a rehash of old articles. That said, if you haven't read them it's worth the read.. An excellent collection of the myths of progressivism buster essays Though English is not my native language, I've really enjoyed reading this well thought trough collection of essays and articles, challenging various ideas of the progressivists/socialists/statetists .One might be surprised how many 'social axiomas' preached nowadays by the universities and media, are actually the myths or illogical constructions born in emotions of envy and hate. I recommend this reading to anyone interested in understanding the human activities, either 'social' or 'economical'. One doesn't have to be a libertarian to understand the simple truth of this book.
Does the free market truly ignore the poor? Are humans really destroying the Earth? Is the government truly the first best source to relieve distress? Compiled and edited by Lawrence W. There's little truly "progressive" about Progressivism. Reed in collaboration with the Foundation for Economic Education and Young America's Foundation, this anthology is an indispensable addition to every freedom lover's arsenal of intellectual ammunition.. True progress happens when humans are free, yet the Progressive agenda substantially diminishes freedom while promising the unachievable. Excuse Me, Professor provides a handy reference for anyone actively engaged in advancing liberty, with essential essays debunking more than 50 Progressive clichés
